Cheese Report - Capriole's Sofia

If you're a fan of Humboldt Fog goat cheese, you must try Sofia, a goat cheese from Capriole Farmstead Goat Cheese in southern Indiana. Sofia is similar to Humboldt Fog in that it's a bloomy rind goat cheese with layers of ash in the middle. It develops the same luxuriously creamy texture as Fog as it ages and warms. I actually liked it better than the Fog; it was a bit sharper tasting. Available (when they have it) at Surfas or, if you want to buy a whole pound, the Capriole website (picture is from the website).
